## About the role

Our desktop application today captures meeting audio and surfaces transcripts and reports. Our intent is to turn it into the control center for Read meetings - where people prepare beforehand, capture during, and generate outcomes after, in one unified experience.

## What they're looking for

- Ship features that make preparing, capturing, and reviewing meetings feel like one seamless flow
- Implement the desktop side of our cross-app UI unification so Read looks and behaves like one product everywhere
- Create a seamless cohesive experience that gets complexity out of the way of users so they can focus on their outcomes
- 5+ years building software professionally, with meaningful time on desktop or client applications
- Have shipped installed software to real users on Windows, macOS, or both - and supported it after launch
- Working proficiency in Rust, or deep systems experience in a comparable language and genuine appetite for Rust
